Abstract
Eggs in storage should be padded so that they do not roll, knock, or rub against each other or the sides of their container. They should be stored in covered containers thereby protecting them from dust and mechanical damage. Storage materials should be stable. This system provides a padded container with stable materials. In addition, it should reduce unnecessary handling because it uses transparent containers or those with a transparent lid to allow visibility of the eggs and labels without opening the container.
